    I’m trying to create a template override file for the cmap template using the instructions found here:

    https://connections-pro.com/2014/06/04/quicktip-custom-template-override-files/

    Using the file location ../wp-content/themes/updated-child-theme/connections-templates/cmap.php Connections will not pick up the override file.

    We have added snippets for custom text fields and we are trying to register them to the template, but it’s not working.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The path you are using:

    ../wp-content/themes/updated-child-theme/connections-templates/cmap.php

    This is incorrect, you need the template slug too, as mentioned in the dev doc. The file name is not correct either. It needs to be card.php or card-single.php. I would suggest starting with a copy of one of the original files. Like this:

    ../wp-content/themes/updated-child-theme/connections-templates/card.php

    Hope this helps!
